Default Headlight problem PLEASE HELP!

My headlight's switch plug is burned, but i just can't find a replacement, it might seem easy, but i live in Mexico City and over here it is absolutely impossible, I have tried several parts web sites (incluiding motorcraft) but no luck either, and it gets worst because i don't even know the part number, can anyone help?

The car is a 1995 GT Convertible.

I'm attaching a picture of the part fo reference...

Is the switch itself burnt? You can still use that plug. You might have to replace just the switch.

The switch works fine, i just replaced it, but the plug is burned, if i apply some pressure the lights go on, but when released they go back off.

If you can't find a replacement you could always use a knife or a piece of sandpaper and smooth out the burnt part so it will connect. You could also pull all the wires out of the connector and hook them up directly to the switch. Just make sure they don't touch each other.
